We’re very excited to host our friends from Sober Island Oysters.

Mark your calendars and make a plan to stop by for some of the most delicious oysters the Maritimes have to offer.

Proudly Nova Scotian

FIRST GENERATION OYSTER FARMERS

Born and raised in Sackville, Nova Scotia, Trevor grew up visiting Sober Island every year as a child.  His love for the island led him to hatch a plan to live there full time – by growing oysters!   He convinced his high school sweetheart and wife, Michelle, to give up their corporate jobs as an engineer and administrator to become first generation oyster farmers in 2005.  Together with their two young children they moved to Sober Island and started their adventure.

The learning curve was steep, but almost two decades later Sober Island Oysters are the oyster of choice in restaurants and homes in Nova Scotia and beyond.  

The team at Sober Island Oysters are passionate about sustainability and the positive impact that oysters make to the ocean ecosystem. They partner with Dalhousie University to conduct research in aquaculture.
